This is so smart. Trump has tried to move us away from being a government of laws toward being a government of men --borrowing a phrase Adams here. Kelly focuses the issue right back to being one regarding our laws and our founding principles.
Sen. Kelly: “This is about a president who doesn't want anybody to say anything that he does not like. I don't think he understands the Constitution. I think he is ignorant to the Constitution and the rule of law…This isn't about me. This is about what he will do next.”

Turns out personalist rule is geopolitically erratic and consequential! It’s much easier to find a Wilhelm II than a Napoleon.

Maybe we will get lucky and Congress will realize it's a full branch of government —the preeminent branch. Some Republicans might even come to realize it's an independent branch.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).

There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

It's not a traditional Thanksgiving dish but here is some of the meat free ravioli I made for the vegetarians at my family Thanksgiving dinner.

-Brown butter and sage sauce.
-Potato and two cheese filling.
-Mushrooms just because.

It took all morning and the mostly well shaped ravioli stuck

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Just want to remind everyone that Mike Flynn told a crowd of rabid QAnon troglodytes in no uncertain terms that the military should conduct a coup in order to reinstall Trump as an unelected dictator, and he never once was subject to the penalties that the UCMJ demands for that sort of thing

FWIW, a court reporter's account, submitted *by the govt* on 11/19 in the Comey case--before it switched positions on 11/20—shows that the full grand jury could not possibly have approved the operational 2-count indictment.
The jury was "released" when deliberations ended.

Yam tits is just the distraction for this movement. Of which I'm certain he believes he'll get a piece.

In fact, the cruelty, rage, etc. are all distractions from what is being built to extract the most from us while giving us as little as possible in return.

An internal email, though, says he was placed on “temporary leave” more than a month earlier.

Why is it fire alarms tend to start chirping to change the batteries at night during the least opportune times?

Do they really need to sound the alarm to do a test?

It's also been the big dogs that get the most frightened by them. Mine made it past a gate and halfway down the street in the rain.
